THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

BOOK TABLE.

Statistical Year-Book of the Missouri Synod for 1926.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
$1.00.

A book so brimful of information that if a person were
to present all the facts and information on its 200 pages
in ordinary “straight matter” form, it would make a book
of more than 500 pages, we are sure; yes, if somebody
were to tell us that it would make a book of 1,000 pages,
we should have no reason to doubt it. It is a pity that
not more people in the Church realize the value of such
a publication and encourage compiler and publisher by
securing its more general circulation.

KFUO Tracts. Nos. 5, 6,7, and 8. By Walter A. Maier,
Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Concor-
dia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price: 5 ets. per copy; $1.25
per hundred.

These gripping tracts bear the titles: Ifodernism
avs. the Bible, Modernism Not Modern, The False Prem-
ises of Modernism, and The Destructive Tendencies of
Modernism. The great timeliness of these tracts, which
were originally broadcast as addresses from Station
KFUO, is apparent from the titles.

Funeral Hymns. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Price, 30 cts. per copy.

A very fine selection of hymns appropriate for funerals.

Every congregation should secure copies to be used by the

* pastor in cases of funeral services held in the homes. We

believe that undertakers in our circles would do a highly

appreciated thing if they were to secure quantities of these

Funeral Hymns and furnish them with their imprint to
be used at funerals.

Shadows. By HW. A. Schroeder. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Cloth binding; 346 pages.
Price, $1.50.

Here is a most interesting story in which a number of
tangled threads are most satisfactorily unraveled. The
editor had the privilege of reading this fine story in
manuscript and was greatly impressed with its fiction
and literary value at the time. It greatly pleases him
that Concordia Publishing House is the publisher. May
the reception of this most readable story encourage the
young author to more such efforts and justify the pub-
lishers in putting out many similar publications. One
remark as to the remarkably low price of the book: It
will be a difficult thing for anybody to find any other
similar original edition of a copyrighted story on the
market for less than two dollars.

Hospice Directory. Lutheran Travelers’ Welfare Work,
1927. Hospice Department, Walther League, 6438
Eggleston Ave., Chicago, Ill.

This booklet brings the name and address of every
Walther League local society’s hospice secretary in our
country. Because of this it serves an important purpose
in the inner mission work of the League and of our whole
Church. Several copies of this booklet should be in every
congregation and should be used by the pastor and others
in the case of removals of members to other places. If we
all were to take better care of our removing young people
and others, one great “leak” would be stopped. The Hos-
pice Department also publishes a very serviceable Re-
moval Notice Card; cost, 1 cent per card. ~ Single copies
of the Directory may be had for the asking; bulk orders
are filled at $5.00 per hundred copies. F.J.L.
